Newsnote: Mystery Daughter of Charity Portrait

 

The Vincentiana Collections at DePaul University recently purchased a c. 18th century oil portrait of an unknown Daughter of Charity.  The painting was marvelously restored by Faye Wrubel of the Art Institute of Chicago.  Efforts are now underway to identify the subject.  Early speculation is that it is a portrait of a superioress general of the Daughters of Charity.
